"Characters who capture your heart"

I fell in love with Drew Bailey, the hero of this book. He is all a romance hero should be: tall, dark, and handsome; a great lover; slightly dangerous. He is a wounded hero who comes to the heroine, Charlie Giles, after spending time in jail for a crime he did not commit. His years in jail have left him with scars on his soul she will have to heal. Charlie will prove him innocent of the murder of his first wife and in the process, teach him to love again.

I liked the fact the heroine was 44 years old, not a young woman, but someone who lived her life strong enough to defend her lover against those who would hurt him, yet able to be vulnerable when the need arises. The sex between Drew and Charlie is hot, hot, hot and the author writes these scenes in graphic detail. Reading them left pleasant erotic images in my mind.

I liked the way the author starts her story by having Drew remain hidden from Charlie yet be there to help her whenever she needs him. That added an air of mystery to their falling in love that gave the story an interesting twist.

I highly recommend this book. It is well-written and presents two characters who will capture your heart and make you care about them.

Her love may be his only Redemption...
